Can a 12-year-old child eat crabs after receiving the meningococcal vaccine?

Patient's question:

At the age of 12, can I eat crabs after getting the meningococcal vaccine? What if I do?

Doctor's answer:

Within two days after getting vaccinated, you should not eat seafood. Moreover, meningococcal disease itself causes significant reactions, so it's best to avoid it. Crabs have a high protein content, so if you have already eaten them, make sure to digest the water. During the vaccination period, it's best not to eat seafood, which is considered a trigger food. Seafood is a common allergen and is an alien protein. Consuming it can lead to allergic reactions, so it's important to eat it in moderation.
